  • Replaced GCM with FCM: We removed the deprecated Google Cloud Messaging library and replaced it with Firebase Cloud Messaging. You now must configure your application so that Firebase is initialized. For more information, see Integrate the MobilePush Android SDK.
  • Simplified notification customization and handling: We've simplified the MarketingCloudConfig.Builder by consolidating all of the notification customization options into a single NotificationCustomizationOptions class. For more information, see Customize Push Notification Functionality for Android Apps.
  • Fewer required dependencies: The Google Play Services Location and AltBeacon dependencies are no longer declared in the SDK’s pom.xml file as required dependencies. If your application requires these features, follow the instructions provided in Implement Location Messaging on Android.
  • Improved initialization verification: To ensure that the necessary information is provided before the SDK is initialized, we've added additional checks to MarketingCloudConfig.Builder. These checks include ensuring that an icon resource for notifications is provided and that notification channels are handled. To allow for this change, you must update your call to MarketingCloudConfig.Builder#build(Context) to pass in an Android context.
  • Default notification channel: The SDK now creates a default notification channel named “Marketing”. For information on how to modify this channel, see Implement Default and Custom Notification Channels
  • Removed Attribute class: We removed the previously deprecated Attribute class, along with any associated methods. Registration attributes are now provided in a key-value Map.
  • Removed DefaultUrlPresenter: To address potential security concerns, we removed the SDK's default URL presenter. Consequently, if your message involves redirection to a web URL, resource, file, or other custom application schema driven by business logic, you must override notification handling. For more information, see Handling URLs and Custom Keys.
  • Tenant-Specific Endpoint: Two new methods were added to MarketingCloudConfig.Builder to facilitate Tenant-Specific Endpoints: setMarketingCloudServerUrl() and setMid(). These methods configure the SDK to communicate with the specific server for your application. For guidance on where to find your Tenant-Specific Endpoint and MID, see Updating Engagement Endpoints to Tenant-Specific Endpoints: FAQ.
  • Improved Kotlin interoperability: Addressed issues reported by the Kotlin interoperability Android lint check.
  • Added nullability annotations to all public APIs.
  • Reversed parameter order of MarketingCloudSdk’s whenReady method to make the interface eligible for SAM conversion.
  • Fixed region message URL locale bug: For locales that don’t use . as the decimal separator, the SDK requests region messages in a format that Engagement doesn't support. We corrected this issue to enforce that . is used, regardless of device locale.

Released July 23, 2024, correlating with the Marketing Cloud Engagement July 2024 release.

Released February 11, 2019, correlating with the Marketing Cloud Engagement January 2019 release.

  • Implemented location message segmentation: The SDK now supports app control over which geofence and beacon messages are displayed. Use the region information provided for geofence and beacon messages in your notification presentation logic. For details, see Location Message Segmentation.
  • Implemented Predictive Intelligence Identifier (PIID) configuration options and APIs: You can configure the identifier for Predictive Intelligence analytics according to how you use Personalization Builder. Configure your applications to use either existing contact key data or a PI-specific identifier. For details, see Enable and Use Analytics on iOS
  • Added time for iOS file protection transitions: To ensure iOS file protection transitions are complete before the SDK completes configuration, we added a guarding mechanism. Now, to accommodate these transitions, the SDK waits up to 5 seconds, without blocking other functions. If the UIApplication’s isProtectedDataAvailable returns NO, configuration fails.
  • Fixed Predictive Intelligence analytics issues: Fixed issues related to sending Predictive Intelligence analytics when using the MID configuration value.
  • Fixed location messaging issue: Resolved an issue where reloading location messages from the server displayed a message limited by the display settings again, contrary to the intended message setting.

Released October 22, 2018, correlating with the Marketing Cloud Engagement October 2018 release.

  • Implemented Tenant Specific Endpoint support for Engagement Accounts: New MobilePush applications must be configured with account-specific settings. For information on configuring the SDK, see Integrate the MobilePush iOS SDK

  • Removed SDK-provided web view for URLs: To address potential security concerns, we removed the SDK's default URL presenter. Consequently, if your message involves redirection to a web URL, resource, file, or other custom application schema driven by business logic, you must provide the SDK with a delegate and implementation of the MarketingCloudSDKURLHandlingDelegate protocol. For more information, see Handling URLs and Custom Keys.

  • Removed the following SDK protocols and protocol methods:

    • MarketingCloudSDKCloudPageMessagesNotificationHandlerDelegate

    • MarketingCloudSDKOpenDirectMessagesNotificationHandlerDelegate

    • MarketingCloudSDKInboxMessagesNotificationHandlerDelegate

      Please change your code to implement the MarketingCloudSDKURLHandlingDelegate protocol.

  • Inbox functionality improvements:

    • When an Alert+Inbox push notification arrives with the app in the foreground, inbox messages are reloaded from the server automatically.
    • Inbox message handling better tracks “active” messages in the inbox based on their start and end date values.

  • SDK Configuration: Added the sfmc_configureWithDictionary: method to configure the SDK via runtime values passed to SDK.

Released August 27, 2018, correlating with the Marketing Cloud Engagement July 2018 release.

  • Added iOS 9 support: The iOS MarketingCloudSDK framework now supports iOS 9. Use conditional coding via Apple’s available attributes. For notes on using conditional coding for push registration and handling push notifications, see the iOS 9 documentation.
  • Added synchronous configuration calls: To prevent developers from trying to set a contact key, tag, or attribute before configuration is complete, we added synchronous configuration calls to the API as the default.
  • Added data privacy compliance: This version of the iOS MarketingCloudSDK supports three privacy modes that may affect your application’s use of MobilePush: Right to be Forgotten, Restriction of Processing, and Don’t Track. These changes assist you in preparing for data compliance regulations, such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For more information, see Data Protection and Privacy.
  • Throttled inbox message calls: To match the Android SDK, we now prevent the iOS MarketingCloudSDK from calling sfmc_refreshMessages too often. Reference the headers for more information.
  • Allowed Predictive Intelligence to be set separately: When you configure the iOS MarketingCloudSDK, you can now enable or disable Predictive Intelligence separately from Analytics. If your app uses the iOS MarketingCloudSDK version 5.0.0 framework with analytics enabled, Predictive Intelligence is also enabled. To control Predictive Intelligence separately, add the config flag.
  • Improved registration: We improved registration to prevent duplicate tags and attributes.
  • Fixed isPushEnabled override issue: Previously, disabling push notifications in the Notification Center overrode the setPushEnable property. We fixed this issue so that the SDK uses setPushEnable.

Released July 11, 2018, correlating with the Marketing Cloud Engagement July 2018 release.

  • Added checks to prevent exceptions: We added nil checks to prevent potential exceptions that could happen when users swipe to close an app.
  • Improved log string initializers: To help prevent Xcode Address Sanitizer warnings, we improved the SDK’s use of log string initializers.
